An advice, do NOT buy Polisport plastics, by far the worst fucking pieces of plastics i have ever delt with



Had to drill and put stripes to keep the plastics from falling out, and the holes for both the tank and the radiator were over an inch wrong, it took a whole lot of patience and 2 people to actually pull and bend the plastics enough to make the screws fit. Seriously spent a couple of hours getting this shit together, and close up the fitment is still poor and lots of spaces where the plastics should be slimmed.

Powder coat and stickers ;-)

Yea... i quit buying pipes for my bikes. I put exhausts on the 05, 08, 09, 12, and 13. Switched to yamahas and had plenty of power - never bought pipes. Came back to honda and im real impressed. So i got the poor mans exhaust.

Got twinwalls, pegs, levers, and rims. Springs will be in soon. Toyko mods reprogrammed ignition. Cant wait to spend some time on this thing.

I must say, looking at my bike without a kickstarter is kind of weird. But damn does it look clean without it! Got the e-start on it this past week. Best thing you can do to you bike!

The plug that goes where the kickstart was. Do you know if the same one that was on the back of the case where the starter motor is now? Of is it another plug you need to buy? Going to get rid of my kickstart shaft next.. Thanks

No it's a different size. I can get you the part number for the plug if you need it.. it's like 5 bucks or something.

I thought so I was out there as well, I only got 2.9hrs on mine. But no issues also

Anyone running DT1 filters I got some and I can not get them to fit. There's no part numbers to double check and they where just sent to me but I can not get it to screw on like it's to thick or bolts to short

Im at 12hrs on the bike, and 3 hrs with the e-start installed.
Having an issue w/ the e start after washing the bike yesterday. I used a pressure washer alot stronger then my own, boom. Electrical issues.
Everything checks out but the starter itself, Sometimes the starter engages, but locks up with a humming sound. Almost like the battery doesnt have the juice to crank it over. But after a few more tries, it'll fire up..
I doubt Honda will sell me a Starter without buying a kit, im going to dissasemble it and check it & Dielectric grease the harness.

I don't use DT1 filters. I have Twin Air filters. No issues at all. Won't use anything else.

So I pulled the plug and it turned over no problem everytime.
Pulled the valve cover and saw my spring on the decomp broke.
Did i wind it up to much ? This happened on my 150f to.

Stole this for the day to do some testing for a friend. The owner claims to have won some desert races... but... Whatever.

Kyle Chisolm saw it and he looked kinda jealous.

They are acerbis, fitment is spot on. I was only going to get the red number plates since I'm not keen on white anything. But the whole kit became available before individual pieces.
